Import pipeline

Import from the EU: one pipeline for wines, oak spirits and documentation — built for distributors and regional wholesalers.

Import — European wines

Regional depth for still & sparkling programmes

We consolidate supply across major EU wine origins so buyers can cover several appellations with one counterparty. Focus is on defendable price ladders, vintage continuity where the vintage allows, and pack formats suited to wholesale (bottle, BIB where available, selected magnums).

Typical import flows cover France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône, Loire, Languedoc-Roussillon, South-West), Italy (Piedmont, Tuscany, Veneto, Sicily), Spain (Rioja, Ribera, Catalonia), Portugal (Douro, Alentejo), Germany and Austria for Riesling-led portfolios.

France — structure & terroir

AOC-driven still wines, méthode traditionnelle sparkling, and regional specialties suited to restaurants and premium retail.

Italy — native varieties

Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Aglianico and northern Italian whites — built for lists that need both icon wines and high-rotation SKUs.

Iberia — value & ageability

Rioja reserva tiers, Atlantic whites, Douro reds and modern Portuguese blends for competitive shelf positioning.

Formats & logistics

Standard 75cl, selected magnums, controlled mixed pallets — aligned with your bonded warehouse or direct import route.

Compliance-ready lists

EU exporter details, harmonised descriptions and supporting documents for third-country customs as required per destination.

Organic & sustainable

Where programmes require organic, biodynamic or sustainability credentials, we filter at source to avoid label mismatches.

France — oak spirits

Cognac & Armagnac for import programmes

Both categories are grape-spirit pillars of European wholesale, but they answer different list roles: cognac for global recognition and aged statements; Armagnac for artisanal depth, vintage bottlings and regional storytelling.

Cognac (Charentes)

VS, VSOP and XO tiers, limited editions where allocation exists, and pack sizes suited to duty-free and domestic wholesale. Emphasis on clear age statements and supplier traceability for markets with strict spirits labelling.

  • Double distillation on Charentais pot stills
  • Wood policy and batch consistency for repeat orders
  • Export-focused labelling and excise references
Armagnac (Gascony)

Blended Bas-Armagnac styles, Tenarèze structure, vintage years for collectors and on-trade lists. Suited to buyers who want differentiation next to cognac.

  • Column & traditional alembic styles per house rules
  • Vintage and hors d’âge positioning where available
  • Smaller lots for niche distribution

We do not publish producer names on this page; line sheets and samples are discussed after a qualified B2B introduction.

Beyond cognac & Armagnac

European brandies, marc & grappa

Complementary EU spirits for the same import container economics: Spanish brandy de Jerez with solera age markers, Italian grappa monovitigno and barrique expressions, marc du Bourgogne and other marc styles where quantities allow wholesale rotation.

These lines pair with wine portfolios for importers who want a single European desk for both fermented and distilled grape products — always subject to market registration and distributor rights.

Import practice

What we prepare alongside the goods

European export of wines and spirits is document-heavy. We align early on Incoterms, excise status, and the evidence set your customs broker expects — so the physical shipment and the paperwork stay in sync.

Terms of sale

EXW, FCA or FOB Charente / Atlantic / Mediterranean ports — matched to your forwarder’s standard booking pattern.

Temperature

Guidance on reefer vs ambient seasons for wine-heavy containers; cognac and Armagnac less sensitive but still stacked with care.

Traceability

Lot references, case GTIN where used, and supplier batch ties for recall readiness in regulated markets.

Certificates

Origin statements, analysis where requested, and spirit category declarations prepared in line with destination rules.

Trade desk

How we work with buyers

We align on specifications (market, channel, price architecture), then propose matched lots from partner cellars and négoce networks. The emphasis is on traceable references, repeatable vintages where possible, and realistic lead times.

Typical focus: France, Italy, Spain and Iberian brandies; cognac and Armagnac tiers; Italian grappa and marc; niche vermouth and amaro where distribution agreements allow B2B resale.
